Answer:
The correct answer is 31 guests attended to her party.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an equation-type math problem.
* As we do not know the number of guests who attended Maxine's party we will call them: x
* As she had to pay $12 per guest, the total she will pay in the bill is: 12(x)
* Due to a mistake, the restaurant discounted $72 from the total bill. Eventually, Maxine will pay only $300, so the actual total bill was for $372
* It implies:
12(x) = 372
x = 372/12
x = 31
That is the reason why 31 guests attended to Maxine's dinner party.
